Lukáš Gondek Apple is the most "cool" brand, but in Ballmer's LA Clippers, apple products do not get space. Tim Cook granted employees a longer vacation for the work done, and the ultra-thin MacBook is once again being talked about.
Apple Watch should have 4GB of memory and 512MB of RAM (September 22)
American analyst Timothy Arcuri contacted several importers of components for Apple to find out what hardware is actually found in the new Apple Watch. According to his report, the watch will feature a 512 MB mobile DRAM from Samsung, Hynix or Micron. The Apple Watch should have 4GB of memory, but Arcuri believes that Apple could also offer an 8GB version. The watch's wireless chip will be similar to the one found in the iPhone 5s. However, such a chip receives a GPS signal, which would not match Apple's claim that an iPhone would be needed for the watch to measure your location. Apple could therefore most likely include a modified version of the chip in the watch, which does not accept GPS, so that the watch can last longer. With the current battery life, users will have to charge them every night.

Apple beat Aston Martin and is the most "cool" brand (September 22)
The list of the British company CoolBrands is compiled with the help of 2 voters and a judging panel, which consists of models such as Sophie Dahl or Jodie Kidd. Voters should take into account the innovation of companies, their originality, style or even uniqueness. Apple topped the list for the third time in a row. In the past year, the Californian company has brought many new workers to Cupertino who used to be in the field of fashion, such as the former bosses of Yves Saint Laurent or Burberry, so it is clear that Apple is trying to penetrate the world of fashion even more than ever before. At the same time, the ranking tries to avoid fast food, for example, Chanel, Nike or Aston Martin have held their place in it for several years. This year, the companies Netflix, Instagram and the technology company Bose entered the ranking, while Twitter, for example, dropped out.

The ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook is not supposed to have a fan (September 22)
A lot of interesting news about the new ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook appeared on the Internet. It should be so thin that Apple will have to replace the classic USB ports with two-sided so-called USB type C. However, the user should also find an adapter for classic USB ports in the box. The charging method should also undergo a change. The new MacBook would do without a fan, thanks to a new ultra-efficient chip from Intel, it would have a narrower body than the MacBook Air with a keyboard spread to the edge of the device, and the speakers should be located above the keyboard with a visible grille. This type of MacBook has been talked about on the Internet for a long time, and Apple is forced to wait until mid-2015 to release it due to Intel's delay.

Ron Johnson opened a delivery service (23/9)
Ron Johnson joined Apple in 2000 and created the Apple Story as we know it today with Steve Jobs. In 2011, he left the Californian company and took up the position of director of the JC Penney chain of stores, which, unfortunately, suffered significantly under his leadership. Now, Ron Johnson has decided to start his own, as yet unnamed project, which he describes as an "on-demand" delivery service for electronic devices. He has already managed to take over a former Apple employee, Vice President of Sales Jerry McDougal, with whom he worked at Apple, in his startup.

Steve Ballmer bans iPads in Clippers (September 26)
Former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer has become the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, and one of the notorious Apple haters' first moves is to ban staff from using any products that aren't compatible with Windows. This means that, for example, doctors and other team members must ditch their Android phones, iPhones and iPads. However, Ballmer is not the only one who forbids others from using competitors' products - for example, the Gateses cannot tolerate a single Apple product in their home, even if their children would like them so much.

A week in a nutshell
Last week was not one of the best for Apple. Although in three days sold a record 10 million new iPhones and their promotion was videos posted with Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, the California-based company also faced several challenges. From all sides, the Internet began to hear that The iPhone 6 Plus bends just from just carrying it in your pocket. However, Apple has stated that this problem is fixed only nine customers complained and tried to defuse the situation by leaving the journalists look into the center, in which iPhones are tested. In addition, scientific research has shown that iPhones they really don't bend any more than their competitors.
Then in the middle of the week came the news that iOS 8 already it runs on half of active iPhones and iPads. Apple wanted to correct the minor errors of the new system with the new version of iOS 8.0.1, of course pulled after a few hours due to problems, which it caused on the latest iPhones. Apple quickly rushed with the new version of iOS 8.0.2, in which everything is already fine.
Towards the end of the week, it was also revealed that Apple about the iCloud vulnerability he knew already five months before his attack.
Mainly so they don't get rid of the "clicky" trackpad, it's brilliant :)
